Technically, it was made by Disney, not pixar (although the distinction is largely arbitrary these days). Rich Moore, the director, is an old Simpsons, Futurama alumni too.

The post has been the same all the time.

As someone who grew up with games, to the point that the medium has become the driving force for my life and career, I was turned off by the previews of the film. I can't describe why. I definitely felt... like Pixar had no "right" to touch on the medium. Like they wouldn't get it. Like it was pandering to fans of the, as I like to call it jokingly, "superior medium", simply because we've had a solid 40+ years of gaming culture, and a solid 10-15 years of it in the mainstream.
I watched the film for the first time today, and I fucking loved it. It was classic Pixar storytelling, with just the right nods to the subtleties and eccentricities of video games to be really endearing, while avoiding pandering to the audience.
Given the sheer variety of worlds that video games have to offer, I was a little disappointed (on the nit-picky scale) that they didn't explore more settings, but other than that, it's definitely in my book for being on par with all other Pixar films.
If it failed for any identifiable reason, I'd guess that either A) the film-going public is still not in touch with the medium, B) film-going public are turned off by the medium, or C), there were still a few too many gaming in-jokes for the general populace to enjoy (of which there were quite a few, at least in the first half).

Either way, this post got me to finally watch the film.

Also: did the post change? I could swear it had different dialogue when I watched it earlier...

Did everyone forget that Disney also did the avengers movie (which was awesome) and own pixar too. They cannot do a worse job than Lucas did on phantom menace and they might actually use fans of the franchise to direct and write for it. It MIGHT be good


I think the "it MIGHT be good" mentality is why we continued to watch the prequels in the first place.

I am always amazed by the equally stupefying sound effects and mastering in these Pixar movies.

Let's see...

Everything Disney (obviously)(and that's quite a lot, I must say)
Lucasfilm
The Muppets Studio
Marvel
Nightmare Before Christmas
Pixar
Touchstone Pictures
ESPN
A+E Networks
ABC Entertainment
Silver Creek Pictures, Inc.
Hollywood Records
Hulu
Club Penguin
Pirates of the Caribbean
Hyperion Books
Baby Einstein
And they sold off Power Rangers (but who cares anymore)
